3 Staples of Modern Interior Design
For many homeowners, modern interior design is growing exponentially in popularity. Between its simple use of furniture and natural elements like wood, leather, and glass, it can make any space aesthetically pleasing while remaining functional.
At Smart PNW, our talented staff can help you achieve this interior design style for your home with three simple steps.
1. Minimalist Furniture with Clean Lines
One of the hallmarks of modern interior decor is minimalist furniture. This style comprises clean lines, neutral colors, and simple, functional designs. Minimalist furniture pieces serve a purpose and enhance the space without overwhelming it. Modern sofas, chairs, and tables use metal, glass, and wood in their construction for a polished appearance.
Neutral tones, like whites, grays, and blacks, form the base of many modern interiors, but you can add accent colors or textures for interest. Reds, oranges, yellows, and even pinks can introduce pops of color through cushions, rugs, or art pieces.
2. Modern Design Window Treatments
Modern design window treatments can anchor your contemporary space and offer light control and privacy. These Hunter Douglas custom window treatments complement modern interior decor:
Designer Banded Shades
Also called zebra shades, Designer Banded Shades are innovative hybrid window treatments that combine roller and sheer shade features. They have solid and sheer fabric layers for a cool aesthetic; close them for full privacy or open them for a softly striped view. Choose from over 90 colors and fabrics in different opacities and small, medium, or large band heights.
Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds
These modern blinds come in ½", 1", or 2" aluminum slat sizes. Without even lifting the blinds, you can enjoy a complete view outside. They also come in various colors and finishes to match your existing decor. Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds are sleek, contemporary, and surprisingly durable, making them a perfect addition to your modern interior design.
Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds
Window coverings like these innovative vertical blinds serve as focal points in any room and work best on large windows and glass doors. Offered in more than 450 colors and fabrics, Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds are very customizable to fit your style. They have long, wide, fabric-covered panels and an interlocking bottom weight for smooth operation.
Modern Window Treatment Control Options
You can enhance many Hunter Douglas window treatments with one of the most modern and award-winning operating systems on the market: PowerView® Automation. It allows you to open, close, adjust, and program your window treatments with a remote, app, or voice commands.
Depending on the window treatment, other modern cordless options include:
- LiteRise®.
- Spring-Assisted Push/Pull system.
- SoftTouch®.
3. Open Spaces and Natural Light
Modern interior decor typically emphasizes open spaces and natural light. A well-lit room feels inviting, spacious, and clean, aligning with modern design principles. Expansive windows, skylights, and open floor plans are staples of this style, helping light flow freely throughout the space.
Reflective surfaces, like glass tables or metallic decorative items, can contribute to the open, airy feel while maintaining that streamlined feel.
